The best restaurants serving British food in Pilsley and Morton North East Derbyshire East Midlands

We first visited this little gem last year to watch a friend of ours in a band. We got a friendly reception from the lovely landlord and landlady. We found a table, got some drinks & were then joined by some locals who were also very welcoming! We had a great night, we chatted, laughed & enjoined the music so much we’ve been back lots since! The pizzas here are legendary, and there’s nothing nicer than a cold beer in the garden in the summer! It’s definitely one of our favourite music venues now.

We haven’t eaten here for a while and to be honest never tried the Sunday lunch! All I can say is…. EXCEPTIONAL! When we arrived we were served and seated in the cosy rustic bar area with our drinks and presented with the menu. The belly pork and beef caught our eye. We were taken to our table by a friendly waitress, who kindly carried our drinks on her tray to where we were seated, which I thought was a nice touch. We were seated in the conservatory, which was a nice welcoming environment. My husband and myself both decided to have the Roast Rib of Derbyshire Beef, which came with a selection of vegetables (carrots, peas and cabbage) roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and a lovely dish of cauliflower cheese (which was amazing). The waitresses were friendly and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. After our main course we were asked if we’d like a dessert and offered the menu. I was feeling quite full until I saw they had a lemon curd cheesecake, accompanied by blackcurrant sorbet and compote, which took my fancy. We both decided to try. Oh my, it was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever tasted, the tartness was perfect, lovely base and textured cheesecake, sat on a swirl of lemon curd, which was also the cheesecake topping and a side of blackcurrant sorbet and compote. I can vouch that every part was homemade and was absolutely divine. Both of us savoured with delight. When the waitress came to clear our plates, I reiterated our pleasure, with the highest of compliments. We will definitely be returning and soon…! Thank you to all. ❤️

We were so surprised when we walked into the Gate at Troway. It is like stepping back in time and so lovely! A traditional country pub that has not been turned into a Gastro pub - thank goodness. The landlord and his staff are lovely and welcoming and I would recommend giving this place a try. A bit off the beaten track but well worth a visit. As far as I know, they dont do meals.
